I’ve come full circle on this. I started by believing it was 100% unconstitutional, and well it may be, but the Supreme Court hasn’t ruled on matters of procedure, just on content of legislation.

However, if it does skirt the rules of the Constitution, there is no way this protects the Dems who vote for this.

They still will take the full-court fall.

And they know this.

So it is still dead on arrival.

Can the elites be THAT confident that they’ll come out on top in such a scenario...?

Drier is a political whore. Dancing with Hitlery on Air Farce One, I knew he couldn’t be counted on.

There is a video of four Senators from yesterday that says doing this will have them file an immediate court case because it is Unconstitutional. But then that doesn’t fit the agenda of some on here that most Republicans in Congress have a spine in all of this.

Folks, this is CNS, not a legitimate news organization.

I don’t buy it because this completely contradicts what he has been saying in other articles.

CNS is just making things up or taking things out of context, as per their usual.

I see what he’s trying to do.

However, I think this crap should be fought to the end!

This guy is making a STUPID mistake....

“Dreier, who is the top House Republican responsible for making sure that Congress follows legitimate rules of procedure, told reporters yesterday that he is not a constitutional expert....”

Speechless.

Rep. David Dreier (R-Calif.), the ranking Republican on the House Rules Committee, indicated yesterday that he was resigned to letting congressional Democrats make the Senate health-care bill the law of the land without ever holding a vote on it in the House of Representatives

Who is this clown?
Will someone just shut this bozo up already?

You are correct and don’t forget the voters who decided to stay home and teach us a lesson in 2006 and 2008. Wonder how they like the lesson now.

Dreier, who is the top House Republican responsible for making sure that Congress follows legitimate rules of procedure, told reporters yesterday that he is not a constitutional expert and that he had not spoken personally to any constitutional experts about the issue. He did say he had indirectly gotten "input" from such experts.

Then he's an incompetent weasel and should be removed from such a position at a time when our very Constitution is under severe attack by enemies of the State. If he can't see that and thinks his lackadaisical attitude is okay...he needs a dope smack.

Why is this man a ‘top republican’? He admits he doesn’t know the Constitution, he admits he has had no meeting with Constitutional experts, apparently he has not taken the time to understand strategy or tactics.....

....yet he seems more than willing to broadcast weakness and ineptness.

It’s like watching a general on the battlefield who suspects the enemy may attempt an attack on the rear flank, throwing his hands up in the air and saying “Oh well, can’t do anything about it”.

I can’t stand the Republicans, they are worse than the democrats.

I think there may be a strategy to it- it can kill the entire bill as being improperly passed.
